Ron was bracing himself for another one of those "big" life discussions while the hard look in Hermione's eyes made it plain that she was ready to argue her point regardless of what he had to say.

And then this after:

He felt an odd sort of anxiety looking at his wife, as though eye contact might result in an unplanned pregnancy.

LOLOLOL = me = true.

Everything else was just so sweet and warmed my heart. I loved Harry and his first moments with James and Ginny... OH MY GOD GINNY. :') That was hilarious. And especially the last line. The turn of emotions again was perfect. You let the build up happen, and then the sweetness with Harry and then the hilarity Ginny brought. It struck such an awesome balance, I loved it.

Great work as always! Maybe you'll see me soon. Maybe.

(okay you will but let me get geared up, okay?)

Author's Response: Hello, there!

I'm glad you find a lot of "oomph" in my portrayals of Ginny and Harry. I think of both of them as being very dynamic people who happen to be a bit outside of what you'd call normal. The same is true of Ron and Hermione, although their quirks are obviously a bit different. And I'm glad you liked those two lines. They were among my favorites.

I wanted the end of the chapter to feel serious, but not **too** serious. So I thought Ginny's, err, *issues* were a good way to lighten the tension a bit. It's probably a little insensitive to make light of things like that, but I'm hoping she wouldn't mind. She doesn't seem like the type who takes herself overly seriously.

I'm really pleased that you enjoyed it! Thanks for reading and reviewing!
